| 299830 | 2004-12-06 01:28:00 | A novice monk arrives at the monastery . . . . . He is assigned to help the other monks copy by hand the old canons & laws of the church . But he notices that all the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript . So the novice monk goes to the Head Abbot about this, pointing out that if someone made even the smallest error in the first copy, it would never be picked up . In fact, that error would be continued in all subsequent copies . The Head Abbot replies "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son . " So, the Head Abbot goes into the caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscript is held in a vault that's been locked for hundreds of years . Hours go by, and nobody sees him . Finally, the novice monk gets worried and goes downstairs to look for him . He finds the Abbot banging his head against the floor . His forehead is all bloody & bruised & he's crying uncontrollably . The younger man goes to the older & asks "what's wrong, father?" With a choking voice, the Head Abbot replies, "The word is 'celebrate' . " Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

| 299832 | 2004-12-06 03:34:00 | A married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labour pain to the father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favour of it. The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labour progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed At how well he was doing. At this point they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since the pain transfer was obviously helping out the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. When they got home, the milkman was dead on the porch |

| 299834 | 2004-12-06 04:08:00 | Hi mejobloggs. All monks are celibate which means they are bound not to marry. When the Head Abbot checked the original manuscript he found the word was celebrate HTH Smithie :D |

| 299835 | 2004-12-06 04:59:00 | Kinda spoils the joke when you explain it, doesn't it? | theotherone (1421) | ||
| 299836 | 2004-12-06 06:31:00 | Sorry if I spoilt it for you. However, mejoebloggs said someone might have to explain it to him. I was just helping out. I am sure everyone would read the joke before they continued down any of the threads underneath, so I really cannot see what the problem really is. |

| 299837 | 2004-12-06 06:48:00 | An elderly man in Auckland calls his son in Sydney and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that you mother and I are divorcing, forty five years of misery is enough . " "Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams . "We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says . "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Brisbane and tell her . " and he hangs up . Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone, "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this . " She calls her dad immediately, and screams at the old man, "You are NOT getting divorced! Don't do a single thing until I get there . I"m calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow . Until then, don't do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?" and hangs up . The old man hangs up the phone and turns to his wife, "OK he says, "they're coming for Christmas and paying their own airfares . " |
